Not Dead Yet by J. C. Jeaffreson
January 2021
Published originally in 1864 and taking place in the decades immediately preceding its publication date, Not Dead Yet makes claim to being a fictionalized account of real events, for which the author received permission from the primary participants in the events to tell their story. In fact, the cover of this eBook is taken from a painting by the main hero of the novel, Edward Smith, proving at least that such a person existed and was an artist in the relevant era.
The story is of two brothers, alike in many ways, fast and loyal friends, who love each other but are diametrically opposite in moral character—one morally irreproachable in all he does, the other a scoundrel. Who will survive? Who will thrive? Who will live happily ever after?
This is simply a delightful, hard to put down, fascinating, well-written work of... fiction, non-fiction, whatever it is.
